•Selecting AF Area mode

In autofocus operation, any of four AF Area modes can be selected, depending on shooting conditions, to utilize the F6’s 11 focus areas.

Rotate AF Area mode selector to select AF Area mode.

g:Single Area AF Mode

Focus is obtained at only one selected focus area out of 11. Useful for obtaining precise focus of a stationary subject in a particular area.

•Selected focus area is highlighted in the rear LCD panel (in normal and detailed displays).

h:Dynamic AF Mode

In Dynamic AF, you designate the primary sensor (the first to detect the subject). Then, if the detected subject moves, Dynamic AF automatically shifts to the next sensor that detects the subject, and the next, shifting among the progression of sensors as the subject moves. Dynamic AF thereby follows and maintains accurate focus even on subjects that move irregularly. (Viewfinder indication does not change as sensoring shifts in Dynamic AF mode.)

•Selected focus area is highlighted in the rear LCD panel (in normal and detailed displays).

f:Group Dynamic AF Mode

Enables you to select a group of neighboring focus areas in the center, top, bottom, left or right areas of the frame. Group Dynamic AF Mode automatically maintains focus on a subject located in the center (indicated as “•” in the illustrations on next page) of the focus areas selected. This mode is useful when you can predict the movement of the subject.

•Selected focus areas are highlighted in the rear LCD panel (in normal and detailed displays).
